Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a busbar system for lamps according to the preamble of claim 1 and a contacting element for connecting a lamp to such a busbar system.
  • Conductor rail systems or strip lights are used in a variety of forms, as they offer a high degree of flexibility in the individual planning of lighting structures for specific requirements compared to fixed or built-in luminaires.
  • the busbar systems consist of several individual elements, which are assembled according to the modular principle, so that the entire arrangement can be adapted to the premises to be illuminated.
  • the basic structure of a busbar system is formed by mounting rails, which are assembled to the desired structure and serve to hold the power supply and control lines and the individual lights.
  • the mounting rails must therefore have a high stability and are usually made of metal. They may have different shapes, for example, DIN rails with a Y-profile or an A-profile are known. However, the most widespread are U-shaped mounting rails, which with their middle leg on a support, e.g. a room ceiling or room wall are attached.
  • the individual lighting modules are attached, usually the length of a single mounting rail is a multiple of the length of the lighting modules. For example, mounting rails with a length of 3 m or 4.50 m are offered if the luminaire modules have a length of 1.50.
  • Such integer aspect ratios are chosen to simplify planning in designing a lighting system.
  • corresponding lines run on or within the mounting rails.
  • other lines for the transmission of control signals can be provided in addition to the lines for power supply, which opens up the possibility of individually controlling and dimming the individual lights when using a suitable control system.
  • the lines run in the form of a Through-wiring within the U-shaped mounting rails, wherein at regular intervals, which correspond to the length of the lamp modules, pick-up sockets are arranged.
  • the Abgriffbuchsen be clamped in the mounting rails, with undercuts engage behind corresponding projections of the mounting rails.
  • the luminaire modules can be mounted at the points specified by the tapping bushes by placing and fastening them on the support rails that are open at the bottom.
  • the contacting of the lines via a located on the lamp modules contacting element which has terminal contacts which engage when placing the lamp module on the mounting rail in openings of the pick-up bushing while contact with the corresponding wires in contact. Furthermore, the lighting modules on rotary knobs, which are rotated after placement, thereby ensuring a mechanical attachment to the mounting rails.
  • the luminaire modules can each be arranged only at the locations that are predetermined by the Abgriffbuchsen, otherwise no electrical contact is possible.
  • busbar systems were developed which have a Stromleitprofil held by the support rails.
  • This Stromleitprofil consists of elongated bodies of non-conductive material - usually plastic - extending in the longitudinal direction of the support rails and accessible from a contacting side grooves for receiving wires for the power supply and / or transmission of control signals.
  • a luminaire can be disposed at any position within that range, so that there is greater freedom in planning and realization of the lighting system ,
  • the different height arranged conductor have different functions.
  • some of the conductors may be used to connect the luminaires to a standard network while other conductors are part of an emergency power supply system.
  • By appropriate contacting of these conductors thus a connected to the busbar light can be assigned a specific function.
  • the contacting takes place with the aid of an adapter, which is inserted into the opening of the mounting rail from below and then rotated by about 90 °.
  • the adapter On the outside of the Adapters are provided pins, which are brought by the twisting against the wires of the busbar system in abutment.
  • the adapter In order to enable an optional contacting of the different wires, the adapter has openings arranged at different heights, into which the contact pins can be inserted. This means that to change the desired contact for a lamp, the pins first removed and then re-used again, which is relatively expensive.
  • a flexible contacting of the various wires of a U-shaped mounting rail is by a in the EP 0 344 703 A2 described adapter allows.
  • This has a plurality of contact pins, wherein one of these pins is adjustable in height.
  • contact pins do not have to be removed and replaced in order to make a different phase selection. Rather, a simple displacement of the contacting pin is sufficient.
  • a conductor rail system which has the features of claim 1, or by a contacting element according to claim 14.
  • the invention provided on a lamp module contacting element in this case has a plurality of terminal contacts, wherein the contacting element is introduced from the open side into the mounting rail and then partially twisting. By turning the terminal contacts are inserted into the grooves of the Stromleitprofils and brought into contact with the wires, wherein at least one of the terminal contacts is adjustable.
  • a wire element is provided, which is in contact with the lamp or the lamp module on the one hand and is pressed to the other after twisting of the contacting element against the grounded wire.
  • the wire element is guided in a slot of the contacting element, which forms an eccentric stop and, during the rotation of the contacting element, presses the other end of the wire element against the earthing wire of the busbar system.
  • the solution according to the invention is distinguished by its simple construction, by means of which, on the one hand, the production costs can be reduced and, on the other hand, malfunctions can be ruled out.
  • the contacting element locking elements which engage behind the rotating and contacting the wires additionally protruding parts of the support rail, whereby at the same time a mechanical attachment to the support rail is made possible.
  • both an electrical contact and a mechanical attachment of the luminaire module can be performed by means of a simple handle.
  • the height-adjustable terminal contact in the corresponding positions of the various wires can easily engage, whereby a positioning of the contact for the desired contacting is facilitated.
  • the contacting element for connecting the luminaire module is rotated by 45 °.
  • Another development of the invention relates to the arranged within the U-shaped support rail Stromleitprofile for holding the wires.
  • this is formed from a one-piece Stromleitprofil body, which is produced by extrusion.
  • This method is disadvantageous in that it allows plastic parts to be manufactured only with limited precision, since the plastic cools very quickly after leaving the extrusion die and changes its shape.
  • This has the consequence that one-piece Stromleitprofil body can only be made to a certain complexity and longer Stromleitprofil body are very expensive to produce.
  • the development of the present invention therefore provides a possibility to produce a Stromleitprofil very cost-effective and to adapt this in its length in a simple manner to the length of a mounting rail.
  • the Stromleitprofil held by a single support rail consists of at least two juxtaposed wire support members made of non-conductive material, which instruct the grooves for receiving the wires.
  • the wire support members are formed in their end regions such that they overlap overlapping with each other when joining with projections located at their ends so that they form in the connection region between two wire support elements corresponding to the grooves and open to the Kunststoffienmgsseite channels.
  • the Stromleitprofils of several individual wire holder elements Due to the modular joining of the Stromleitprofils of several individual wire holder elements, it is possible to offer mounting rails of different lengths, to use them with a Stromleitprofil only wire holder elements of a single length, since the Stromleitprofil only by changing the number of wire holder elements to the length of the mounting rail can be adapted. This results in a significantly lower production cost. Furthermore, no elongated and expensive to produce integral plastic parts must be created.
  • the wire-holding elements can be produced, for example, by means of the much easier-to-control and less expensive injection molding process.
  • the wire-retaining elements When the wire-retaining elements cool and contract, they move away to a predetermined maximum distance, which still provides protection against contact; when heated, they approach each other. In this way, a continuous Stromleitprofil is formed independently of temperature.
  • the wire support members Preferably, have a length of about 500 mm, wherein the allowed game, with which two adjacent wire support members can move against each other, is about 8 mm, which is sufficient for the temperature differences usually occurring in the busbar system.
  • the possibility is given, over an arbitrary length, to create a continuous contacting possibility, in the Stromleitprofil is used after the merger of the support rails in this.
  • the mounting rails are usually already assembled ready, ie sold with an already inserted Stromleitprofil with the wires arranged therein. This is because it is easier when creating a trunking system to assemble the already assembled mounting rails, as first add together empty mounting rails and then use the Stromleitprofile.
  • an interface occurs at which the wires of two Stromleitprofile must be connected to each other.
  • Another development of the invention therefore relates to a connecting element which also forms a contacting possibility at these interfaces.
  • the connecting element of the contacting side and the two end faces accessible groove-shaped recesses corresponding to the grooves of Stromleitprofile, wherein in the recesses in each case a metal connector is used, to which the wires to be joined together from both sides can be connected.
  • This also made of a non-conductive material connecting element closes the gap between the Stromleitprofilen two mounting rails and ensures that across the entire length of the busbar system away a luminaire module attached and can be connected to the lines of the busbar system, since the metal connectors in the Transition region form the contact surfaces for the connection contacts of the luminaire module.
  • the metal connectors preferably have an elongated contacting plate and U-shaped spring elements arranged at both ends thereof, by means of which the wires are clamped during insertion and pressed against the contacting plate. At the same time, it is ensured by the spring elements that the wires can not move in a pump-like manner during thermal expansion of the wire-holding elements and possibly even emigrate.
  • a mechanical connection of two adjacent support rails is preferably carried out by means of a short U-shaped connecting rail, which engages half in both support rails and on the side legs, the connecting elements are arranged.
